  • WHEREAS on June 13, 2023 Special City Council directed staff, upon successful negotiations, to place a disposition/sale by-law for approval regarding an unsolicited offer at 115 Albion Street;

    WHEREAS through consultations with the community it has been determined that 22 Sydenham St. would be better suited for the development of the park as the parcel of land is larger in area than 17-23 Sydenham;

    NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that The Council of the Corporation of the City of Brantford AMEND Council’s previous decision to redirect the proceeds of the sale of land from 17-23 Sydenham Street to 22 Sydenham St.
